excel - Vlookup a Cell which Contains a Part of Other Cell but not that Straightforward -
hi guys , excel gurus, stuck 1 excel problem cannot solve. tried using index, match, vlookup no avail.
basically tried getting column d displays value column b if value of column c contains part of value in column a.
so i'm dealing kind of this: fixed table display
+------------------------------------------------------+ | header column column b column c column d | +------------------------------------------------------+ | row 1 111 aaa 1111 | | row 2 222 bbb 112 | | row 3 333 ccc 2225 | | row 4 444 ddd 333 | +------------------------------------------------------+
so expected result be:
+------------------------------------------------------+ | header column column b column c column d | +------------------------------------------------------+ | row 1 111 aaa 1111 aaa | | row 2 222 bbb 112 n/a | | row 3 333 ccc 2225 bbb | | row 4 444 ddd 333 ccc | +------------------------------------------------------+
sorry poor table display , explanation. guys.
=index($c$2:$c$5, match(1,if(iserr(find($b$2:$b$5, $d2)),0,1),0))
, 5
last data row. enter array formula (ctrl+shift+enter) in e2
, drag down.
btw on row 4 gives ccc
, not n/a
